Telepathy Folks [2] is a metacontact aggregator, this will help us with the above problem. They need a backend to write to, so EDS was an option here.. I don't like this path, since i like my contacts flat, editable and discrete. How my old Nokia phone does it: * saves 1 vcard per individual * stores vcards in a place named "Contacts" I think with all the improvements to Tracker, Nautilus and SeiLo's work on Sezen [3], we are ready to assume a confident posture towards dealing with huge databases of personal information, e.g. hierarchical filesystems or our personal contact lists.. I was about to suggest to write the data to a single XML document, affording it to the user for manual manipulation in the even simpler form of .vcard files. I'm interested in hearing the arguments against this.. ¹ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/telepathy/2010-June/004632.html ² http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Folks ³ http://seilo.geekyogre.com/2010/06/first-sezen-screencast-an-introduction-to-sexy-simple-searching/
